Duncan Gosse

Duncan and Gosse are both sparsely populated areas in South Australia. They differ sharply in age and wealth; the typical resident in Duncan is 32, while residents in Gosse are far older at 48. Duncan is the wealthier of the two, with a typical weekly personal income of $1,017, compared to just $537 in Gosse. Educational backgrounds also vary, as 59.1% of adults in Gosse have a bachelor degree or higher, which is far higher than the 16.7% in Duncan.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in terms of their isolation, as both remain car-dependent and lack local schools or public transport.

While Duncan has more children and a higher share of people working or looking for work, both areas sit well above the national figure for volunteers.
